I'm typing to you via a Surface Pro 4. Never had to download one driver for it, the Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 2, Surface 2 RT, nor Surface Pro or Surface RT. Yes... I have owned all of those at one time or another.

Guess you've never had any problems with wireless chipsets and the like. Lucky you. Folks here complain about that ad nauseum.

As for panasonic toughbook,..It was a very nice machine, very linux compatible, but far too expensive to consider

You managed to run linux on RT??? Don't believe you need any drivers for normie win working and doubt javispedro meant that.

Not really. What I'm trying to show is that the difference is between the _preinstalled_ image and whatever you put on it.
I am yet to see a operating system _for embedded/mobile devices_ that doesn't have this problem.
The embedded/mobile world is hard and there's no way around it. Almost every device uses its own crappy non-standard stuff. This applies both to phones (almost all of it is non-standard), UMPCs like the Vaio UX (tracking stick! touchscreen! card reader!), and the Surface series (strange Wi-Fi chipset, strange Ethernet chipset, strange input devices, ...).

And don't say Windows Update, since you can't even get online with the stock Windows.
This discussion is almost a decade outdated.
MS has lost it. It took me a while to realize it, too.
See Surface Pro 4 stories for a start.

Still don't get it, you had to fish for drivers for normal windows on surface? I would understand it being tricky to run linux on it, but what exactly? You tried to put win7 on it, or 8(.1) if it was 10 by default? Or for external devices?

I think once I stop talking in German (often for my morning meetings) my tone honestly does sound more gruff and/or curt. It's not intentional and if anybody else got the feeling; I truly apologize.
